Alaska sues Biden over restrictions on drilling in Arctic refuge, claiming violation of a 2017 law.

Alaska has sued the Biden administration, claiming it violated a 2017 law by imposing restrictions on oil and gas drilling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The lawsuit argues that these restrictions make it impractical to develop 400,000 acres of land. Meanwhile, a recent lease auction for drilling in the refuge received no bids from energy companies, suggesting high costs and environmental concerns may be deterring participation.
